Just received an email at work regarding some upcoming roadworks that may affect you.

In advance of the proposed redevelopment’s in this area, highway improvements are due to take place on Snowhill Queensway and St Chad’s Circus Queensway from Monday 24th July 2006 for approximately 18 months. This will involve lane closures, however the traffic management arrangements will be designed to keep traffic moving.

In late January 2007 the St Chad’s Circus gyratory will be restricted and for a period of 22weeks, the slip roads from St Chads Queensway on to the gyratory will be closed.

Traffic Management Services are developing an overarching traffic management strategy to deal with all planned road works and in particular any event that forces the tunnel to be closed within the 22week period.

18 months! This might cause a bit of a headache…
